Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

And a cooking segment to boot... you star....

Very nice! you're a celebrity now.

This been the busiest three weeks of my life. Half of the hungarian press tried to contact me, several press releases came out in all different type of media. The greatest impression is the online arcticles and facebook. Youtube, my webpage visits, and facebook fanclub growed crazy.

Meanwhile there is much happening in the background as well, I'll get you some information about these as they come live. AP Book, AP webshop, hopefully university research...

Meanwhile the AP is doing fine, leafy vegies grow fine, fish does fine. We have crazy weather, its -5 and 10cm of snow one day, two days later its +5 and all is melted. The GH performes great, system temp is around 11C right now, but air temp is usualy hitting the 20s if the sun shines.

I made my first AP video in hungarian, mostly about informing the people whats comming next, whats happening behing the scane.

I'm sure that hundreds of AP-s around hungary will set start in spring.

Quit your job and set up shop?

I really have a good and stable job that worth gold in the current economic situation. Not quiting until i dont see that an AP job could feed my family.

Keep your day job Zsazsa...

And feed your family from your aquaponics system...

Wishing you great success Zsazsa!

Of course. Just joking with you. Definitely wish you luck with the media frenzy. Keep em straight.

I just want to show you two pictures of a dream that came true...

Looks good, nicely done.

Weather forcast says a real test that I wanted so much is finaly comming in the next 8-10 days.

Daily max temps expected to be between 0C to -5C (32F - 23F)
Nighly lows are expected to be between -7C to -15C (20F - 5F)

I had te no sunshine worst case test in nov-dec.
Now the extreme lows test is comming.

Zsazsa, very nicely done. I was based in Bars with IFOR, you have a lovely country. I miss the sunflower fields.

Yes, I checked the forecasts, it is definitely cooling now and keep continue cooling in the coming days (weeks maybe!)
The downside is that there are forecasts for the longer run (1week +) and now one of them says that the probability of testing -20C is 90+%. Worse, the probability of dipping below -30 C is around 70%. The latter happened only three times in three different places in the last 25 years in the whole country. Definitely keeping my fingers crossed because I also have some "assets" at stake.

Video update in hungarian, but english subtitle included.
